• Software Development for Windows Vista Cannot install June CTP Runtime components, it crashes.

  Hi I cannot install June CTP Runtime components. It just crashes after a while. I might have messed it up because I killed it the first time I tried to install June.

• Visual Basic Convert a stored value in a database to an object

  I am storing the name of controls in a table and want to load the value of those controls with a value in the database. How can you access every control in a form (not "on" the form like Me.Controls because that doesn't see everything in group box ect.) ex. cbo as combobox cbo = AllControls .item(Row!ControlName) cbo.SelectedValue = Row!ControlValue Thanks. Can you assign a key to the AllControls list so you can access a specific control like... cbo = AllControls("cboPipe") or something   Dan, how does this look Dim cbo As ComboBox Dim chk As CheckBox Dim txt As TextBox Dim c as Control Rows = myModel.LoadModelDefaults(mModelID) ...Show All

• SQL Server select values from multi-value parameter

  Is it possible to pass values from UI to a multi-value parameter in a report and from this report, select values from this multi-value parameter to finally display data Thanks! Follow up question please. When I get values for a multi-value parameter from SP, values are displayed with checkbox on their leftside, thus, allowing me to select from values. But when I supply values from UI using ReportParameter[] class, values displayed in report do not have checkbox beside them, and thus, not allowing me to select from those. I'd like to display values with checkbox please. Thank you. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Command Line Switches

  I have finished developing my first PDA application for Windows Mobile and it works fine which is a good start, however, I need to be able to pass a command line switch into the software to make it start in config mode. I can find no way of doing this - either in the setup project when I am making the cab file (trying to make a shortcut with the switch set) or actually on the device. I would like to launce myapp.exe config. I am sure this must be possible and that I am overlooking something obvious. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C# namespace overlap

  Hi, Let's say assembly 1 has a namespace a.b Another assembly 2 has a namespace c.a.d ('a' just happens to be the same word, but conceptually the two namespaces are different.) In assembly 2 (i.e., within the block namespace c.a.d { } ) how do I reference the namespace in assembly 1 Is there a way to tell the compiler that when I say a.b, I want that to be within the global namespace Right now the compiler thinks I'm trying to use (the non-existant) c.a.b. Thanks! global ::a.b ...Show All

• .NET Development Automation Error Raised by VB6 App on a .NET component ever since installing .NET 2.0 Framework

  I noticed that a VB 6 app is no longer able to properly call a .NET component exposed with a COM interface that was compile via Visual Studio 2005, it raises an Automation error . Setting the application configuration file to point to the .NET framework v2.0.50727 does not help the situation. However, when the .NET component is compiled via Visual Studio 2003 it works provided I have the infamous application configuration for the VB6 app set to: < xml version ="1.0" >  <configuration>     <startup>          <requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>          <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DrawUserPrimitives

  Can someone explain why this method uses generics graphics.GraphicsDevice.DrawUserPrimitives<VertexPositionColor>(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 12, nonIndexedCube); I am a VB.NET business programmer and I am familiar with generics, but pretty much only use the generic collections. This seems silly to me. With generic collections, I define a collection to be of a certain type, and then where I use it, it is typed, keeping me from doing something stupid and saving me some extra coding. Since the 'definition', <VertexPositionColor>, is right next to the usage, actually in the same method call, I don't see that being the case. What does this give me or is it a performance thing Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Proc Results to Excel Workbook

  Hello, I have tried to use a DaraReader Source to execute a SQL Server 2000 proc, and send the results to an Excel Destination. The proc is named spv_CDGetFuelManDuplicates.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XBAP working on XP, but not Vista

  got a large XBAP app that we've been developing on XP. it works fine on XP, but Vista is giving me a 'white screen'. on a Vista client, the ClickOnce deploy seems to work fine, but the apps Page never renders. if i click on the View menu for IE, it only shows the reduced menu items for XBAP (Status Bar, Stop, Refresh, Full Screen) ... so that makes me think the XBAP app really is loaded. so what would keep it from rendering what are some of the known differences between running XBAP on Vista and XP NOTE if i deploy a simplified XBAP app from the same server, then it works fine on both Vista and XP. Thanks, casey How are you trying to run the XBAP on Vista, locally, off a web server, from VS If VS ...Show All
